Check out this turntable on uPay. The link in the listing gives info on this machine. Very interesting machine for the mid to late 50s.

Most frustrating turntable I ever owned. A lot of rubber in the "worm drive" system, which may be hard as a rock by now. Mine wouldn't hold speed, had to be constantly readjusted. My service techs of that era threw up their hands, said it was a Rube Goldberg device that would never say fixed. Could be they just didn't know what they were doing. I loved the looks of it, though, especially with the Grado walnut arm I had on it.
This is really an interesting table and the only one I know that is gear drive. I've seen it and heard it play music at a friend's house in VA. He has two, one is a parts unit and the other one is running perfectly.
According to the 1956 Allied catalog, this TT listed for $208.35 although Allied discounted it to $125. The claimed noise level was 60db below average recording level. It had nylon gears and a four pole, shaded pole motor. The platter was balanced and non-magnetic. Arm and base were extra. Shipping weight was 26 pounds. (As a reference for the price, Allied was selling the Garrard 301 for $87.22 and the ROK L-34 for $49.95.)
That should be a noisy son-of-a-gun. It's interesting, though. By the way, they generally sell for a fairly high price.
